Summer of 2011 will have many changes for our small family. Adam pursued a new job that is moving our family to McKinney, Texas. Starting June 1, he is working for Traxxas. And if a move isn't a big enough change already, we are expecting a baby girl due July 19. Alexa already loves "baby sister"! We feel strongly that God has been clear on His plans for us and that makes us so excited for what is in our near future. As we are (sadly) leaving many amazing, amazing friends and family in Kansas, we felt it was important to start the blog back up so we can keep everyone in the loop. Thank you all for your never ending support on this adventure for our growing family!

BIG GIRL!!

Good morning all!  I do have some more random pictures to post AND a pretty awesome video of Nora smiling, but that will come soon enough.  It's amazing how my days fly by with the two girls!  Nora's feedings, diaper changes, picking up Alexa from the bus, lunch, getting both girls down for naps, keeping both girls happy until daddy gets home, dinner, Alexa down for bed, and maybe enough time to watch a recorded show with Adam, then we're off to bed.  Yes, I do have some free time while Alexa is in school (between Nora's feedings) and on those awesome days that I get them both napping at the same time, but then I need to grocery shop, pay bills, keep up on facebook ;) and of course, do some cleaning, laundry, and figuring out dinner.  Fun times!  All and all, the adjustment from one to two has not been too bad.  I think it's easier than I expected because 1: Alexa is more work anyway than a typical 3-year old.  Love her, but it is true.  And 2: *knock on wood* Nora has been a pretty easy baby!  Much different than Alexa was and I'm so glad my second is my easy one!  Overall, my biggest challenge so far is just taking both girls out of the apartment and loading and unloading them in the car.  Fortunately, Alexa has been doing awesome and she'll walk while holding my hand and then stand on the sidewalk while I put Nora in or take her out of the car.

Ok, enough rambling and onto our big news!!

Alexa went pee in the potty!!!!!  This is a HUGE deal for us and we're thrilled!  We've had no idea how this potty training stuff will go with Alexa since we don't know how much she'll understand, figure out, and be able to tell us.  However, we've made it the first step and she has gone on the toilet so at least she should know what it feels like and understand what it means when we talk to her about it.  I feel this would be the biggest step for us and once we got there, it will give me more motivation to work with her more consistently on it.  We now know that she can do it!  YAY!!!  What a big girl!!
